The Burqu Nature Reserve, designated in 2018, protects a huge swathe of the northeastern steppe and is among Jordan's largest protected areas. Its open desert and seasonal pools attract passage and nomadic birds, including desert larks, wheatears, sandgrouse and occasional large raptors.
It is remote, quiet and far from crowds, ideal for the adventurous birder. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan arrange desert logistics for Burqu with the castles loop, and full package tours to Jordan include it for off-road birding.
